I do, she knows how hard I work despite what the two "Queen Bees" tell her. What they don't know is that our supervisor can see everything we are doing on the computer while at work.

Feb. 14: 150 lbs: Girls night out
March 17: 145 lbs: Pair of sexy new shoes
April 29: 140 lbs: Day Spa Treat
June 1: 135 lbs: (Fiance said he'd quit smoking cold turkey) New bikini and a vacation!!!!

Yes I do. Our department is stretched a bit thin and he's always willing to jump in and lend a hand. He's very even tempered when things go crazy and is a good listener when you come to him for advice.

I have worked for many good supervisors and several bad supervisors during the coarse of my career. The most important thing to remember is that your supervisor is in a position of authority over you. Therefore, unless they direct you to do something that is wrong (ie. illegal, immoral or unethical), it is our duty to be obedient (even when we don't like their style of supervision) and do the best job we can.


The Almighty will provide regardless of any opposing circumstance!

Chef Meg's (Leftover) Chicken Tostada
Submitted By: CHEF_MEG

Tostada means toasted in Spanish, and in this simple recipe, Chef Meg takes her Slow Cooker Provencal Chicken and Beans leftovers and makes a crunchy, crispy, chewy, cheesy tostada for a quick weeknight supper.

Some grocery stores carry tostadas, which are slightly drier and crispier than tortillas. If you can't find them, use corn tortillas--or your favorite kind of wrap. Full Recipe
